Tickets: $0-$5
Join Bay Nature and Alison S. Pollack, biologist and wildflower specialist, for a virtual talk on winter wildflowers of the Bay Area on Wednesday, January 14 from 12pm - 1pm. We are so lucky to live in a region where the first flowers start blooming in the heart of winter. There are a few native wildflower species that reliably emerge in January or even earlier. In this talk, we will discuss and learn about our earliest bloomers including where to find them, how to identify them, and what the latest science reveals about our winter flowers. This event is inspired by Alison's piece about the fetid adder's tongue, from our winter 2025 issue. This talk is free for Bay Nature Members and $5 for Nonmembers.
